Note 84 — I 1185-1325
Reading edition
Poetica, ll. 126, 130. Much of the information of this Poetica (printed in C. C. B.) may be gleaned from the Cancioneiros, but it shows how carefully the different kinds of poem were distinguished. There were apparently special names for poems to trick and deceive: de logr’ e d’arteiro, and for festive laughter poems: de risadelha (or refestela?) = de riso e mote. Santillana’s mansobre is, it seems, a misprint for mordobre. It occurs again in the Requesta de Ferrant Manuel contra Alfonso Alvarez (Canc. de Baena, 1860 ed., i. 253):
Sin lai, sin deslai, sin cor, sin descor. Sin dobre, mansobre, sensilla o menor. Sin encadenado, dexar o prender.
